May I suggest getting the old bike repaired, with heavy duty tires and frame-reinforcement, and hitting the highway in the am? Letting go of the artisanal cheese sammies for a bit, and getting into some nice lean proteins and salads? Eat a piece of fruit, for Allah’s sake!

Got a buddy from Tejas up for the weekend and he doesn’t remember there being a Texas Christian Capitol Day or a Buddhist day or Catholic day. OLT can correct this if we aren’t correct.

Seems to me these same folks would be screaming about separation of church and state if there was a Texas Christian Capitol day.

Charles is simply showing his usual hypocrisy and double standards. Normally he’d proudly crow that he is an atheist and anyone believing in religion is feeble minded and not to be taken seriously. Even though Catholics are not blowing people up right now and not tossing gay men off tall buildings, for some reason they are evil and should be kept quiet, Muslims who ARE throwing gays off roofs and blowing up children are to be respected and revered.

And what is this nonsense about Muslims need to learn how politics work? Aren’t these guys U.S. citizens? Do Catholics or Christians need to learn how politics work? How about Druids? Fake, stupid, ignorant fools and tools.

Not one of those intellectual midgets over at LGF even sees the hypocrisy of their rhetoric. Collectively they don’t have the intelligence to comprehend things a third grader would understand.

If only there was a vaccine against going ‘splodey-dope. Then there would be no need to fear and spy on Muslims. Now there is. And it’s sad. It’s more than sad. It’s the greatest threat to modern civilization, threatening to bring about a New Dark Age. A lot of people have died, and a helluva lot more are going to die in this fateful battle. But wait…the Unicorn Messiah says the war is over? I guess it’s over, then, and we can now relax, play golf and eat our waffle. Thank Allah!

Thai Ladyboys pushing their push-up bras and penis panties? Yeah, that’s a pain. You can buy the same stuff through Chunky’s Amazon store, and help keep his Dew reservoir filled for another week of mindless Twitter-blather. Use Adblock, whenever cruising swampy backdoor alleys.

My entire world revolves around folks who decide to not take vaccines. That and people who don’t wear coats in the winter. Yeah and people who won’t eat broccoli . Or spinach. Oh, also who ice skate on thin ice. Let’s not forget those eat their hamburgers medium-rare. I shan’t forget those foolhardy souls who go out walking without umbrellas either!

Jim Hoft who Chunky McFarty Johnson maintains is a bigot of epic proportions is pictured here with Ginny Thomas, supreme court member Clarence Thomas’ wife at an educational conference. Jim will be speaking at the conference on “Taking Social Media to Action”. Chunky McFarty will be at his as usual place. That is at home on his “special gaming chair” making rude er gastrointestinal noises from his previous night’s Cheetos binge.

Hush now. Fatso is just trying to protect the misunderstood ‘religion’. He wants the world to know he’s no Islamaphobe, bigot or racist. Never mind the mass beheadings, rape, brutal treatment of innocents in the name of Islam. It’s all Geller and Spencer and meanie white Xtians who are to blame.

I have to admit, I’m having a difficult time deciding on who to root for in today’s game. The Sea Chickens are a bunch of douches, with Lynch and Sherman leading the way. The Patriots have the same fans as the Boston Red Sox, a bunch of asswipe Massachusetts bandwagon dopes like Damon and Affleck. I kind of like Brady, though. In a non-gay, fellow-alum kind of way. I guess I’m going to just see who’s more annoying in the first half. Maybe Katy Perry will influence my decision. Some drinks are required, and thoughtful meditation. Talk to me, Katy.

All Katy needs is a weekend at Poteen’s conservative re-education boot camp. 2 days and nights of intense instruction held in our penthouse classroom high atop a casino hotel in the southwestern United States. Upon completion of the program she will have an understanding of American conservative principles, no memory of skinny, dirty commie, bad British comedians and a Ronald Reagan cut off t-shirt with plenty of underboob exposure.

My mentions right now are an object example of how Fox News poisons people’s minds.

Whatsamatter Chunky? Can’t get enough people pointing the racist finger at Fox News? Not enough professional lesbians or race baiters? No panels concluding whitey done it? Too many well spoken, intelligent blacks who don’t spit all over themselves imagining all the people who supposedly hate them and have therefore deprived them of something (money, jobs, or dig nuh tee)??

Yes. Right wingers (aka conservatives, GOP, republicans, and anything else Charles deems as such) are racist, xenophobic, religious zealots and if a single one of them doesn’t blindly follow what left wingers like Charles decide is the best path to follow then they are evil monsters who should be put to death without a trial or delay.

Really? We’re now anti-vax because we WANT our children to get sick and die so that we can get the illegals out?

Hey Asshat, do you even remember what Ellis Island was FOR? It was to check arrivals for DISEASE and to quarantine them, especially diseases like smallpox that were on their way to eradication in this country. YOUR new liberal overlords sent people all over the damn country who had not been checked for disease or given any type of vaccination.

I’ve asked it before and I’ll ask it again. Does your asshole get jealous of the shit coming out of your brain.

Charles Fuckface Johnson is a shut-in with a negligibly followed website, has been laughed out of Facebook, and is an unkempt collection of cells lacking a moral compass while in need of a haircut and a shower.

That’s just Fatass Projection, right there. He thinks everyone is as knee-jerk stupid as he is
The fact that the anti-vax crowd is populated mostly by dim-bulb, lo-info Lefturds escapes his dim view. .

They do about as good a job as NASA, to be painfully honest. Maybe NASA should hire a few of them.

There was no excitement or hysteria leading up to yesterday’s whopper snowstorm in MIchigan, btw. I shoveled about 4-5 inches off the premises before the game yesterday, and there was over a foot here this morning. Great workout! Maybe better than Shaun T’s cardio freakout.

How can we believe in ‘global warming’ when the temperature records providing the ‘evidence’ for that warming cannot be trusted?

It’s a big question – and one which many people, even on the sceptical side of the argument, are reluctant to ask.

Here, for example, is one of the two most prominent English sceptics in the House of Lords, Matt Ridley outlining his own position.

I am a climate lukewarmer. That means I think recent global warming is real, mostly man-made and will continue but I no longer think it is likely to be dangerous and I think its slow and erratic progress so far is what we should expect in the future. That last year was the warmest yet, in some data sets, but only by a smidgen more than 2005, is precisely in line with such lukewarm thinking.

Though I’ve no reason to doubt the sincerity of Ridley’s position, I can also see plenty of reasons why it would be a politically convenient line for him to take. The same applies to Lord Lawson’s position on climate change and Bjorn Lomborg’s position on climate change. All of these distinguished figures on the mildly sceptical side of the argument have taken the view that the figures provided by the various scientific institutions, such as the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and NASA GISS, as relayed to us in the assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, are broadly trustworthy. Their beef is not so much with “the science” as it is with the political hysteria and green propagandising that has accompanied that science, as well as with the counterproductive policies resulting from it.

To repeat, these may be earnest, heartfelt positions but they are also politically expedient ones. What it means is that in debates Lomborg and Lords Ridley and Lawson don’t come across as too “out there.” It means that they cannot, by any reasonable stretch, be tarred as “deniers”. Not only are they not denying the existence in “global warming” but they’re not even that far off from where the mainstream “consensus” is.

This all seems to me tactically wise. If their positions weren’t so eminently “reasonable” they would be invited to speak at organisations like the BBC even less often than they are already.

What it does, unfortunately, mean, though, is that those of us on the sceptical side of the debate who want to push the argument a bit further are put in danger of being made to look like extremists. Crazed conspiracy theorists even.

So before I go into technical detail about why the temperature records are suspect, let me provide an analogy which ought to make it perfectly clear to any neutral parties reading this why the problem I’m about to describe ought not to be consigned to the realms of crackpottery.

Suppose say, that for the last 100 years my family have been maintaining a weather station at the bottom of our garden, diligently recording the temperatures day by day, and that what these records show is this: that in the 1930s it was jolly hot – even hotter than in the 1980s; that since the 1940s it has been cooling.

What conclusions would you draw from this hard evidence?

Well the obvious one, I imagine, is that the dramatic Twentieth Century warming that people like Al Gore have been banging on about is a crock. At least according to this particular weather station it is.

Now how would you feel if you went and took these temperature records along to one of the world’s leading global warming experts – say Gavin Schmidt at NASA or Phil Jones at CRU or Michael Mann at Penn State – and they studied your records for a moment and said: “This isn’t right.” What if they then crossed out all your temperature measurements, did a few calculations on the back of an envelope, and scribbled in their amendments? And you studied those adjustments and you realised, to your astonishment, that the new, pretend temperature measurements told an entirely different story from the original, real temperature measurements: that where before your records showed a cooling since the 1940s they now showed a warming trend.

You’d be gobsmacked, would you not?

Yet, incredible though it may seem, the scenario I’ve just described is more or less exactly analogous to what has happened to the raw data from weather stations all over the world.
